People needed to help sell tickets @ lunch for Hurt Jam

Hurt Jam is right around the corner and we need to start selling tickets. For people that buy them at school during lunch the cost is $5, and it is $6 at the door. From Wednesday to Friday we are going to be selling them at lunch, and help is greatly needed for selling tickets. Around 3 people are needed to sell tickets during each lunch, and so we could get 3 people per lunch every day that would be amazing!
I know 1st and 3rd have a good amount of ultimate players in each, but I do not know of many in 2nd or 4th. If you want you can post in the comment section if you can help sell tickets... or just show up.

Thanks

P.S. We need a cash box. If anyone has one that can be borrowed for the week, please post that in the contact section... again Thanks!!

Mandatory Varsity Meeting

In lieu of practice on February 12, the Varsity team will be hosting a meeting at Asa's mother's house (thank you Graffs). We will plan to meet from 6:00 - 9:00. They will be providing pasta for dinner, and we will, again, divvy up the details of other foodstuffs in the next week or so.

We will be discussing our goals and how to achieve them, a tournament schedule and plans for the rest of the year - including roster changes.

Please RSVP in the comments section (If you have any specialties you would like to provide for food, put them in here, or you will be assigned next week).

Thanks,
Jake

Ultimate Boot Camp Update

Due to overwhelming dropouts among the interested, the new plan for Boot Camp will be for everyone planning on attending to be at Lifetime for training on Tuesdays from 4-5pm and Saturdays from 1-2pm. Please make these adjustments to your schedule and attend as regularly as you can.

Cost may increase a small amount due to the number of teammates changing their plans at such late notice. (Just so everyone realizes - the price was based on 16 people, so with only 7-10 people actually showing up, there will have to be a change).

Thank you for your understanding.

Jake

Varsity Boys Workouts

Hey guys,

We are going to start working out as a team this week after school. The workout should take about an hour to an hour and a half.

This will only be Monday and Wednesday

We realize that this week is finals so if you need to stay after school with a teacher please do so and work hard to get ready for your finals so you can come play ultimate.

If we (capt's) do not here from you it will be an "unexcused" absence.

Please do your best to be there. You will be helping out yourself and your team.



ALSO.....

Senior boys on the Winter League roster: The league has started and we have had a low number of people showing up. These games are fun and we really want you there.

Thanks.

Ultimate Boot Camp @ Lifetime Fitness

If you are interested in attending the program at Lifetime Fitness on Cedar Lake Road in Golden Valley, here's what you need to know:

Cost: ~$225 for 10 weeks, twice a week.

1st Meeting on Thursday, Jan 17th @ the SLP Lifetime. Please bring 1/2 the $ due, and your schedule to plan for your training sessions.

TRAINER is Dustin Greenig (952.541.7172) and will meet with all interested parties to go over the training schedule and goals to be accomplished.

SESSIONS: after the initial session on Thursday, we're planning on having 2 groups, Group A meets on Tuesdays @ 4pm - 5pm, Group B meets on Thursdays @ 4pm-5pm, and Group A&B meet Saturday @ 1pm-2pm (2 trainers).

With varsity having practice on Tuesdays @ 4:30, I anticipate most of the varsity boys participating in this program to be in group B, but I know that won't be the case for everyone. I anticipate most ladies and JV players to be in group A. Dustin asked that we have no more than 12 in any given session, and 8-10 being ideal. Please do your best to coordinate schedules to allow for this to be effective, worthwhile and a great experience for all involved.

EXPECTATIONS: This program is going to focus on developing 4 aspects of your game: Speed, Quickness, Height & Footwork.
You will learn a standard Warmup Routine to use before practices, games, and tournaments.
We will get a publishable workout regimen to use to train in the off-season, and prepare for next year's round of personal training.
And you are expected to peak at the end of the program (End of March) for our first tournament in April.

Please contact me or Dustin (dgreenig@lifetimefitness.com, 952.541.7172) with any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Coach Jake

Here's what I've got so far, if your name is in RED then you need to get your paperwork and dues into Diane Arenson tonight (Wednesday) to get a jersey and discs on time. Include your jersey size and # preference.

I know I didn't include everyone. If you're not on this list and would like to be, get your Hurt paperwork into the Arensons and write in the comments that you want to be on the roster.

JV team meeting

The JV will have a team meeting on the evening of either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th of January. Please post a (non-anonymous) comment to let me know what works best for you. If you're willing to host, I'd like to know that too.

SCHEDULE CHANGES!!

Please note the schedule changes on the calender (pay no attention to the odd time zone):

Tuesdays- JV at Williston Center from 5-7p.

Every other Saturday- split between Varsity and Ladies at JCC from 2-4p. (Coaches decided it was more important to have our TEAMs practice together, even though it is less often. All the more reason for you to be proactive during the week with your winter training so we can focus only on Ultimate skills and drills at practice.)
This Saturday is Varsity practice.

Any questions or notes, post in comment section.

Winter League News

The good news is that Hurt will add three senior women to the roster this Friday. Next game is this Friday at 10pm. Remember to bring $20.00 to this next game. We will need to collect the $ BEFORE you play, so please remember to bring the money. No pay no play...

JCC today (Sat)

We are still on for all-team practice today (Sat) at the JCC, 2-4. MAP. Just wanted to make it clear because it's not on the calander.

First JV Indoor Practice

What: JV indoor practice
When: Tuesday, January 8th, 2008, 5-7pm
Where: Williston Center map

Our first real indoor practice! It starts now, so be thinking about what kind of a season you will make this. Be there or be a square, or lemme know if you can't make it.

Something that I should mention: for legal reasons, everybody coming to a Hurt practice needs to be a member of the UPA. For indoor practices, we want you to be a Hurt team member as well, because space can be expensive. Registration forms are in the links on the right.
